CSU’s Miles: Thumbs up on Boyle hire

Count Colorado State’s Tim Miles as one of many who thought Colorado made a great choice hiring Tad Boyle. Of course, he’d be happier for Boyle if Boyle went to some lucrative position not on CSU’s annual schedule.

The Rams were 1-2 against Northern Colorado in Miles’ three seasons. UNC fans rushed the court in early December when the Bears held off CSU.

Miles sent me a text that he’s left text and voice mail congratulatory messages for Boyle. “But as an appropriate rival he’s big timing me…No response. Like he’s got nothing better to do…LOL”
